It's been a while...

Not like anyone reads this or anything, but it has been a while since I was here last.  I know Cody has to have grown at least 2" (it's really scary how fast these boys get to growing!).  It's a quiet morning here.  Gregg is still in bed (worked last night), Cody is with Nana and Papa, and mom took on the brave task of watching 4 grandkids last night (Megan, Kyle, Emily and John)!  The cats finally made me get up and feed them this morning (I don't think they got fed last night... I was at work).  They do this thing where they run circles over the foot of my bed, then under the bed.... over, and over, and over....  Now, Lulu is in the bottom basket of a babydoll stoller, and Snowflake is punching her from above (endless entertainment).

Fall break has been pretty easy going.  It lasted a bit longer than just Thurs and Fri, though.  Emily was sick M, T, and W, so she stayed home from school, and missed the zoo trip on Wed with her class.  Truthfully, I was kinda glad, it was an ugly day.  So Thurs, we all packed up and went with Amy and her kids and grandma.  It was the absolute PERFECT zoo day!  Even for fall break, surprisingly few people there.  Work returned for the weekend for me.  Day 3 will start @ 3p today, and then I'll be off until next Friday.

We are trying to get school pushing on again.  With Emily home sick, and cramming to get the back side of the roof finished, not much got accomplished this last week.  I've gotta go by Kinko's and pick up work books for NaNoWriMo!  What?  NaNoWriMo!  Yes, you heard me right!  It is National Novel Writing Month.... eeewwww!  No really, it sounds like fun; I even signed up!  The kids start Nov 1st, and the goal is to write a novel by midnight Nov 30th.  It is supposed to be silly and fun, ignoring the traditional rules.  I have had a terrible time getting the boys to write, so I'm hoping this will head us in the "write" direction (hehehe!).

I have also joined Facebook, and got Amy to do the same!  After hearing it was a bit of a bore in comparison to MySpace, I hadn't been eager to join.  But, this week I took the leap!  It is actually quite fun, and not nearly as hectic as MySpace.  I have linked my blog, shutterfly, etc to my Facebook page.

Well, my feet are getting cold, so I'm going to go pull some socks out of the dryer, and attempt to get something done before heading off to work today.  Hopefully I'll get back on and write again soon!
